THE WEEK'S BIG 3
A new report by ADL tracked a massive surge in antisemitic incidents following the Oct. 7 attack launched by Hamas against Israel, indicating that reported incidents of harassment, vandalism and assault increased by 388 percent over the same period last year. Following inciteful antisemitic and pro-Hamas protest incidents at Tulane, Cooper Union, and other colleges and universities around the country, ADL and the Brandeis Center sent a letter to over 200 college presidents calling on them to investigate SJP chapters. CNN, the New York Times and other outlets issued corrections after they reported false Hamas narratives about an explosion at a Gaza hospital, raising concerns about accurately
reporting on the conflict.
Read on for more on these headlines, news you can use to fight hate and the latest info about ADL from around the country.
